As stage of this study involved the creation of an IT issues database, which can be found in appendix three. This database was crafted over the course of a year and a half; the base of its design drew upon a series of interviews which consisted of government executives from Federal, State, and Local agencies, available literature, repliques de montres and an extensive analysis of discussions on the World Wide Web. The initial categorizations for the issues were derived from a review of the literature pertaining to a number of areas crucial to information technology management, including but not limited to following: general management theory, management of information systems, information systems theory, strategic planning, and systems design. The original categorization system was structured around seven issue areas based on interview responses and the initial literature review, ethics and legal issues, architecture”hardware, architecture”software, government records, management issues, personnel issues, and value issues. For the purposes of this study, the database was modified and expanded to make the information contained more understandable and useable as a future resource for IT issues Material and method. Contributors to the database were asked to give a general categorization to the issue and then to describe it more completely. The responses ranged from very specific, technical issues to broader and less well defined ones like organizational culture.hublot replica
